I had similar concerns after the procedure, so I think asking the doctor in charge directly would be the most accurate way to find out.
After surgery/procedures, melatonin and sleeping pills may interact with anesthetics, painkillers (especially opioids), and antibiotics, potentially causing drowsiness and respiratory depression. Therefore, avoid taking them arbitrarily. It's safer to bring your list of prescribed medications to the hospital and confirm "when you can resume them, if there are any medications you shouldn't take together, and if they will affect swelling or recovery" before starting.
